Strike on the Ground - Striking in Pairs: Accuracy
Hurling — Intermediate Drill
This is an intermediate drill to practice the ground strike technique focussing on improving the players’ accuracy
Organisation
- Divide the players into pairs 10m apart; one ball per pair
- Place two cones midway between both players
- Each player in turn strikes the ball through the cones to their partner who blocks it and strikes back
- Alternate striking using the dominant and non-dominant sides
- A score may be awarded for every successful strike between the cones
STEP Variation
Space - To increase the challenge: Reduce the distance between the middle cone
Equipment - As the players become more proficient, use a smaller ball, e.g. the Quick Touch ball
